AN ARCHAIC CEREMONIAL BONE CARVING, SHANG DYNASTY 商代骨雕祭祀用器China, 14th-11th century BC. A thin fragment of a hip bone, likely from a medium sized canine. Carved to one side with an impressive taotie mask and two kui dragons within a key-fret (leiwen) border, all in deep and high relief, adorned with neatly applied incision work, below a further key-fret band. The solid bone is smoothened around the edges with a fine sheen to the decorated surface.Provenance: Galerie Wannieck, Paris, September to October 1942 (according to an ancient family ledger inspected by Cabinet Portier, Paris, France, during their appraisal of the complete de Strycker estate; this ledger remains in the possession of the de Strycker family and may not be copied). Collection of Robert and Isabelle de Strycker, acquired from the above and thence by descent in the same family. The display stand has three old collection labels. Robert de Strycker (1903-1968) was a French engineer who specialized in metallurgy. He was a Stanford graduate, a professor at the University of Leuven, a director of the Institute of Metallurgy at the Universite Catholique de Louvain, and one of the most influential members of the faculty of applied sciences. After World War II, he made large contributions to France's post-war recovery. Robert and his wife Isabelle (1915-2010) first encountered Chinese art at the British Museum during a stay in London in the 1930s. Enamored with the style and beauty, they both decided to study and collect Chinese works of art. In 1938 they eventually began to build their collection, buying from Belgian, Parisian, and English dealers. They kept close contact with the famous English collector Sir Harry Garner (1891-1977) and noted Czech collector and expert Fritz Low-Beer (1906-1976).Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Possibly with some old fills. Extensive wear, losses, natural imperfections including foramina and fissures, encrustations, signs of weathering and erosion.Weight: 29.2 g (excl. stand)Dimensions: Length 9.8 cm (excl. stand) With an old fitted velvet display stand, dating to the first half of the 20th century.

An important Barr, Flight and Barr Worcester teacup and saucer by William Billingsley, circa 1808-10With a gilt ring handle, painted in a characteristic style by William Billingsley, with circular panels of garden flowers set against a sky blue background, the pale peach-coloured ground gilt with vermicelli and anthemions, saucer 13.5cm diam, impressed crown and BFB marks, printed mark referring to Royal patronage and Coventry Street address (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceBonhams, 3 October 2012, lot 199Charles Dawson CollectionIllustrated by Charles Dawson, Worcester Flight & Barr Porcelain (2023), p.100, fig.10.7. Dawson discusses the work of William Billingsley on pp.197-204. Billingsley's time at Worcester is also discussed by John Sandon, The Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain (1993), pp.66-67. Sandon illustrates a similar teacup and saucer and also a related slop bowl. Significantly, these pieces are very much in the Derby tradition of flower painting where some special cabinet pieces were painted with flowers against a sky-coloured background, a technique previously unknown at Worcester. Barr, Flight and Barr must have known that Billingsley was fleeing from his creditors and managed to engage him as a painter for little more than the wages of a common hand. Following his arrival in 1808, Billingsley probably painted flowers for the next two years, before he turned his attention to the improvement of the kilns and developing a new porcelain body. During this time, he appears to have been a prolific painter of table services but was allowed very little freedom to work on cabinet pieces such as this luxurious cup and saucer.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
